[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 934364, member: 43498"] Did you have a fortnight or so where you took 500mg of Metformin SR a day without bad side effects then today you had diarrhoea? If so, that doesn't sound like the typical pattern of Metformin side effects and maybe something else caused the diarrhoea? I suggest discussing it with your doctor. IMO Metformin is a useful drug, if you can tolerate it. If you can't, then most people can get their BGs under control with dietary changes. If you can't do that, then the other non-insulin drugs have varied benefits, side effects and risks, and insulin might be better in the long run. How are things going with your eating patterns and BGs? [/QUOTE]
